Overboost insalled and still throws a code

I was more than a little disappointed when, last week, I installed my ITP Overboost Anihilator. I explain to my wife why I spent the money and what it would do. I load her and the Kids in the truck, get out on a decent stretch of road, pin the accelerator down and bam; once i get to 22 psi thats it. Plateau on the guage and then wham check engine light. Whats up with that?

I don't throw the light with mine. May have to give Dennis a call, he should be able to help you set the thing. Its man made so anything can happen.


Good luck.

It could be an low hpo code aka 1211. With your mods you should be hitting 25psi though. You need to get the codes read.

did it come on steady or was it flickering like it wasn't sure what it wanted to do. If steady still probably a Boost code, If flickering then it is probably an HPOP code (as in the HPOPs trying to keep up with the injectors and its right on the ragged edge of being too weak.

the EBPS (exhaust back pressure sensor) will set the SES just like an over boost but it does not de-fuel the engine. mine will blink on every so often

It plateus at 22 psi. I couldn't stay in it for more than 3 seconds or so at that boost, like I said the wife and kids were with me. . The light did not flicker and it did the stay on for 8-10 minute thing then cleared. I don't have a reader so I don't know what code it is.
